I upgraded IE8 to IE9 and I noticed I were able to go to a website just by typing the name of the site. Ex: type yahoo in address bar will take me directly to yahoo.com or type sevenforums will take me to sevenforums.com. After I format my pc and reinstall Windows 7 that feature stop working. Now if I type yahoo or sevenforums it will just take me to google search result page.
Things I have tried:
1. Reset IE9
2. Uninstall and Reinstall IE9
3. urlTemplate is enabled
4. one-word to intranet website is enabled
5. Search in address bar is enabled
6. Top result search is enabled
7. Autocomplete is enabled but I don't think it matters because I'm using inPrivate which doesn't saves history.
Using Final version of IE9
Does anyone know another way to fix this problem? Thanks
where the site is a single name, like sevenforums..
you can type it in and then press Ctrl and Return
to complete the address and go straight to the site..
that doesn't work for website with .net, .edu, .gov etc. only work with .com.
I like that feature because if I type somethng like "problem with IE9 address bar" in address bar. It will automatically takes me to microsoft website that has resolution to that problem. Or if I type ati driver it will takes me to ati driver download website. Or if I forgot my school website , I just need to type valencia community college it will takes me to www.valenciacc.edu. ctrl+enter will not work.
I don't think there is a working solution to my problem at this point. I can't even uninstall IE9 anymore. I'm just gonna leave it like that. Thank you everyone for replying.
